## Enforcement Against Non-Registrable Movable Property

When a debtor fails to perform voluntarily, the creditor's claim often targets movable items — equipment, appliances, inventory, vehicles or securities that are not registered in a public registry. Enforcement against such property begins with the attachment (seizure) regulated by Article 40 of the Georgian Law on Enforcement Proceedings: attachment of movable property means describing the debtor's property, declaring a prohibition on the owner disposing of it — alienating it in any form, pledging it, or concluding lease or rental contracts over it — and/or transferring the property for safekeeping. The enforcement officer records the attached items in the act of description and attachment. For non-registrable property this document is the primary fixation of the attachment, since no public-registry entry exists. After attachment the debtor can no longer sell or pledge the item: the law directly provides that any transaction concluded over attached movable property after the attachment is void.

### What does attachment of movable property mean?

Under Article 40 it means describing the debtor's property, declaring a prohibition on disposal — alienation, pledging, lease or rental — and/or transferring it for safekeeping; the items are recorded in the description and attachment act. Any transaction after attachment is void.

### Can unharvested produce be attached?

Yes — fruit not yet separated from the land may be attached until enforcement against immovable property has occurred, but attachment may not take place earlier than one month before the harvest.

### Who signs the attachment act?

Under Article 48 the act is signed by the enforcement officer, the custodian, the creditor, the debtor and other persons present; it contains each item's description, valuation and the parties' notes.

### What liability follows disposal of an attached item?

Any disposal of attached property by the debtor or custodian entails liability in the manner provided by the criminal legislation of Georgia.
